Hello Richard and all others,
it's time to think. Yes, I was indeed very "thin-skinned" (as we say in germany) about the publishing of this components sheet of the claptrap (Was there anybody noticing, that this components sheet was the MUSICAID ClapTrap without humaniser, not the Simmons Mark 1 :-)?
I was really angry, but this has other reasons:
There are many members having schematics, eproms, knowledge a.s.o.. They simply sit and read the posts, glad that they have so much more information than the rest. Sharing something? Nope! If I ask for something, I get replies like "what are you willing to pay for it?". Yes, I wait for the SDS6 CPU board schematics. Still!!! I know, who is the one who has these and doesn't want to share them! I also know the guy who downloaded my private eprom binaries (...fat kick...) and now sells them on ebay!
Black sheep?
What would you think about doing some things together, like buing the large collection of eproms on ebay, making copies for each one in this group. Sharing schematics and giving help. Building up a real database. But it can't be, that only a handful of members is willing to keep the spirit alive and the others simply participate and turn thumbs.
Another fact is, that many members of our group are doing the same research and documentation work. So the SDSV hihat and cymbal theme, schematics, cloning a.s.o.. I have also finished this until 95%, and I am quite ready to clone an SDSV as I did it with SDS3. Why can't we work together? I gave the REAL schematics of the SDS3 to anybody who asked for it. But there was no favour I got back. Simply NOTHING. There are only few people I can work together, my main man is Thierry EPPHERRE from France, we share everything (but our girl friends).
So I hope, you understand my reaction better now. One day I will get the schematics of the SDS6 CPU and I will take revenge and: publish it unauthorized!!
Have a nice day.
Michael

Sorry Michael if I offended. I made a note in a text in the folder
that the items did not come from me. I had them a on a CD I have many
manual scans on and the files were dated from 2 years ago.
I did not intend to simply post anyone's personal work and had I known it had come from someone on this list I certainly would have asked first.
I have removed the offending item as well as the schematic (due to not knowing it's source)
I was simply trying to assist in a group member repairing his unit.
I apologize for the indiscretion and will refrain from further posting
of schematics and info etc.
I don't understand why people become "touchy" about things like this.
I have spent 30yrs of my life repairing and assisting people in keeping the older gear running. I too have spent many hours at my expense retracing pcb's etc and have them all on file. My most recent
effort I mentioned on this group and pertains to a complete reverse engineering of the SDSV. I have 95% completed this and at this point if someone wanted to build a complete SDDSV from my info they could.(including the hihat and cymbals)
I was in the process of putting together a WEB Site to make my work available but as of this point I think I will refrain.
Again sorry for causing you the concern. If you had contacted me off group I would have dealt with it.
Cheers
Richard
